It has effect on the marine life, especially in the anufacture of food.
Yes. It does.
Temperature and Salinity.
Low salinity, often found in areas with significant freshwater input, can reduce water density, causing it to rise and potentially leading to less vertical mixing. High salinity increases water density, promoting sinking and contributing to deeper ocean currents. Together, these variations in salinity drive thermohaline circulation, which plays a crucial role in global ocean currents and climate regulation. Thus, salinity influences both the stratification and movement of ocean water.
How does climate effect life?
no the climate doesn't effect Manitoba
The effect of temperature is that the warm water is denser than colder water, since the molecules are spread out so the warm water sinks to the bottom. The affect of salinity is that since the water is salanatized it sinks to the bottom while the fresh water floats (due to the amount of salinity).
When the ocean's salinity increases, it can lead to greater water density, affecting ocean circulation patterns. Higher salinity can also impact marine life, as many organisms are adapted to specific salinity levels; changes can disrupt ecosystems and food webs. Additionally, increased salinity may influence the climate by altering heat distribution in ocean currents.
There are different kinds of process that deeply affects the salinity of ocean water. Continental deflections, Coriolis Effect, convection current and also evaporation.
Surface water has the highest salinity, however it is also the warmest, and because temperature has more effect on the density than the salinity, it rises to the top.
The salinity of a river can vary depending on factors such as the source of water, climate, and human activities. Typically, freshwater rivers have low salinity levels, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 parts per thousand (ppt). If a river is influenced by seawater intrusion or human activities like mining or agriculture, its salinity can be higher.
the effect is that the climate changes into a cooler or warmer climate.
